This woman was obviously waiting for someone – perhaps she was there to pick her child up from school. She was obviously bored, and seldom did her hand leave her face. I wanted to intensify her boredom by contrasting her stationary position with great energy and movement. I used a standard shutter speed of 1/50th of second to make this image. It defines my subject in great detail, yet the never-ending flood of passing motorbikes become nothing but blur at this shutter speed. I made many images of this scene, and the one I liked the best involves a high energy color – red – slashing past her with a rush of blur, leaving her well behind with nothing but her thoughts. The moving rider is placed squarely between her relaxed hand and the left hand edge of the image. She may dream at this moment in time, but within a short time, she, too, may become nothing but a blur of white.
